The politics of the country is cor
rupted and degraded by the infiu-
ence of the dram-shop. Depraved
idlers meet day after day, and the
saloon becomes a political club
house. Liquor Dealers Associa-
tions" dot the land, all politically
bent on securing privileges for their
business. 1t has been estimated
that every saloon controls an aver
age of ten votes. Whatever the
number may be, 1t is immense in the
aggregate, and constitutes the "Pre-
torian Guard' of our time ready to
sell the government to the highest
bidder.-National Prohibition Com

Aunt Abbie's Advice.

Never utter word of slang,
Never shut the door with bang.
Never say once that you "don't care
Never exaggerate, never swear,
Never lose your temper much;
Never glass OF liquor touch.
Never wickedly play the spy;
Never, o never, tell liel
Never your parents disobey,
Never neglect at night to pray.
Remember these maxims
Through all the day,
And you will be happy
At work or play.

such excellent service during the past

Possesses strong claims to public support.
The fact that it has subscribed capital of
81, 800 900, cash capital of $780, 900, and
has made a deposit OF 500, 900 with the ln-
smrance Department of New York, for the
benefit of all policy holders in the United
States, sffords material guarantees for the
iulfillment of its obligations.
To meet the increasing requirements of
the age, this Corporation has introduced sew
eral important Improvements and new fea-
lures in Accident Insurance in the United
States, notably, the payment of large addi-
tonal disablemeni allowance. The pay
ment of lump sum at death, or weekly
allowance in case of temporary disablement,
as given by other Accident Insurance Com
panies, are foud TO be insufficient; but the
P"licles of this Corporation ensure, in addi-
tion to death and weekly allowances, a sum
equal to the death benefit in the event of the
loss of both arms or both legs, or of one leg
and one arm, or the loss of sight; and for the
loss of hand or one foot, one half of death
allowance is paid.
